We had a short drive from Milk River, AB to Belt, MT and made a pit-stop in Great Falls, a half an hour away from our destination. Our plan had been to get some lunch and let our homestay know that we would be there soon, BUT, we couldn't reach our homestay so we had to kill some time and I knew just the thing.
Getting Mandy to do this thing took some convincing, but hey, I'm persistent and it's better than doing nothing. We drove to the world's shortest river. That's right! According to the
Guinness World Records, the shortest river in the world is in Great Falls, MT. Now, this has been debated, is held in contention and the
Guinness World Records hasn't listed a shortest river since 2006, but semantics!
The Roe River in Giant Springs State Park is just 201 feet long. You'd have to walk it 26.268 times to walk just one mile!

The Roe River flows into the Missouri River which is the largest river in North America, so it's pretty cool to see. We walked along the Missouri River for a bit until our homestay called us and it was time to get to Belt, which is where we are now!
